Diane von Furstenberg Elan Leather and Rubber Wedges: Modern Love

Forget about the decade-enduring wrap dress. Diane von Furstenberg is proving herself to be a serious contender when it comes to snob-worthy shoes! Not only are her prices fantastically affordable, Diane has whipped up some very edgy sandals for Resort season. Architectural, graphic, and glamorously offbeat, these multi-toned wedges remind me of old-school Marni, in a good way. They’ve got all the artsy eclecticism of the Italian house’s brand of intelligent chic, but with mostly minimal straps these sculptural heels are perfectly wearable. A lime-green rubber strap is enough to thrust a shoe into ferocious territory, but add a thick Velcro-closure cuff at the ankle and you are set for a confident stride. And the wildly angled heel puts these frugal-approved numbers on par with accessible modern art.On Net-a-Porter for $395.
